911 SC broken head studs
Hello.
There's a 1981 911 european SC for sale in my region for a pretty good price, but with two broken head studs (common for these models I believe). The rest of the car seems very clean. My questions : are broken head studs a big issues on SC ? How much could it cost me to fix it ? Would you guys repair it on a rush, can it wait a little ? Do you just replace the studs just like that or it requires other parts to be replaced ? Thanks again ! Nico

Take at least $5k off the price of a car with broken head studs.

Somewhat obsessed......

+1 on the price hit the seller should take. With the knowledge you can access from this site you can take care of it. One thing to take away from the reading here is that if an SC has not had the dilivar studs removed, if it doesn't have a broken one when you look at it today, it may have a broken one tomorrow. I just did mine myself this summer. With the help of hours upon hours of pelican reading! Totally worth it. Good luck!!

Dont turn down a good car for the head studs. Bad studs are standard as jchris points out but a nice clean SC is hard to find.
At a shop, its a 5 grand fix but in reality 12 studs, a gasket set, some specific tools and your time. Heads to the shop for a valve job and a few other incidentals. Bruce |

That price is not to far off, but remember after this service you would be good for at least 160,000km of reliable running. DIY, yes you can do it for half price, but it is a lot of work.
